"Open boarding" (if it gets implemented) and lots of carry-ons is a bad mix. I'm all for fair and reasonable carry-on rules, but when 170 people storm the gate to board a 757 with their napsacks, rollerbags, mcdonalds bags, soda cups, computer bags, pillows and toys, it won't be a pretty sight.

Will CO be giving out free Zoloft tablets to the GAs and Elites who have to wade through the mob?

I am still amazed at why it can take 25% of the time to deplane an aircraft as it takes to board it.
